Joseph C. Goodin was 32 when he was shot and killed in a west side Indianapolis garage on the afternoon of May 5, 2017. Officers responding to reports of a shooting in the 5900 block of Bertha Street found Goodin unresponsive inside the garage with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses detained a 23-year-old man, Derrick Walbert, at the location and police arrested him. Walbert told detectives he had shot Goodin and was initially charged with murder. In March 2018 Walbert pleaded guilty but mentally ill to voluntary manslaughter; the murder charge was dismissed and in April 2018 he received a 30-year prison sentence.

If anyone has information about Joseph Goodin, his last movements, or the events that evening, please come forward.
